Not bad considering I didn’t use that many coupons! Make sure to check out the Kroger deals before you shop!

Nice work. The Pizza &Cookies Deal is my FAVORITE of the week! Those things are expensive otherwise.
Another deal that I found was on the Osteo-Biflex. I played my coupons wrong on it, but the smaller bottle was on sale for around $9 & there is a $6 off coupon. (silly me bought a larger bottle with the coupon instead of multiple small bottles, duh)
Oh, I have done that before Jennifer! I especially mess up when my kids are with me!
We have not tried the Pizza & Cookies before- I figured it would be a good item to have on hand for an easy meal!
I was able to host a DiGiorno House Party back in March & received lots and lots of free pizzas from them. The point was to promote the new Pizza AND … products, so I’ve had them before…for free. I don’t think I’d ever pay $9 for it though. I had 9 of the $1,25 off coupons for the Cookies/Wygnz versions this week. My deep freeze is full. :-)
I went to Kroger yesterday and TRIED to do a Frozen food Mega Event deal. I put 10 items in my cart and only 7 of them rang up included in the sale. I went back and looked at the way they had the items and signs displayed… not very clear at all… I wasn’t too happy as I only saved 33 % at Kroger yesterday now!
I too was mad about the frozen food mega event. I purchased 11 items actually knowing i would pay the additional .50 for going 1 over, but 2 didn’t ring up. I think they were also marked incorrectly on the shelf. And w/ my 2 yr old w/ me, there was no time to go back and argue! Totally made about losing out on 5.00 though!
Hi Jill,
I have done that before too. I am always distracted if my boys shop with me. One thing you can do is go to customer service. I have had to do that before when I thought I bought the correct amount for the Mega Event. Usually they let me just buy the additional item needed and then give me the $5 in cash.
Heidi,
The next time that happens head straight to customer service. If the items were mislabeled they should give you the credit. Plus, Kroger has a scan right guarantee- if it rings up wrong you get the item for free!
You had a great trip! I have to go to Kroger tomorrow.
